Description

2 volumes. First Edition. Illustrated with early lithographs and wood engravings, including an engraved frontispiece to each volume, engraved vignette title-page to each volume and ten other engraved plates, and with a fine large folding map at the end of Vol. I, complete as called for. 8vo, in the very rare publisher's original ribbed dark olive cloth, the spines gilt lettered within an ornate gilt frame. x, 330; v, 358 pp. An unusually bright set of this important work, the bindings showing only some rubbing at the bottom of the spine panels caused by shelving, the upper hinge on volume two is rather weak, internally fine with just some of the typical browning to the edges of the plates as is usual to engravings of the period, the text-block very clean and fresh.
